Rating: 3.5/5 -- Zinnemann shows a knack for suspense and moral ambiguity that he unfortunately abandoned in his later Oscar-mongering prestige pictures. Full Review

It is strong meat for the heavy drama addicts, tellingly produced and played to develop tight excitement. Full Review

Zinnemann's film noir is a rather cynical dig at post-war triumphalism, which questions ideas of heroism. Full Review

A complex, fascinating noir that exposes the grim truths behind the shiny, fragile façade of post-war America.

Rating: 3/5 -- Technically Act of Violence touches all the bases in its circuit chase. But it is as though it were doing it on the strength of a long, foul ball. Full Review

Description by OLDIES.com:

Catherine McSweeney (Elizabeth Montgomery), after being viciously beaten and robbed by a street gang, is transformed into a mentally and physically damaged crime victim. She uses her position at a San Francisco TV station to voice on-air her newfound and paranoid opinions about the under-privileged and disillusioned youth she had previously defended her whole life. Her comments create a firestorm of protest, which threatens every aspect of her life.
